I couldn't let go. Should I take more or less next time?

[Unlimited]

I just smoked 40mg of Venom Toad (5-MeO-DMT) but couldn't let go.

A few hours before I had a breakthrough with N,N-DMT and although it was a very intense trip it was easy for me to let go.
In general I never had any bad trips with it no matter how intense the trip was.

5-Meo-DMT seems to be on a complete different level.
It hits much faster and stronger than N,N-DMT.
Within seconds I was from a "normal" state to completely losing control of myself.
It is pretty hard for me to descripe this experience.
In the beginning I tried to let go but it got to intense for me.
I felt that my ego was defending itself.
I put my eyemask & headphones off and tried to calm myself down with looking through the room.
It worked and now I'm back to "normal".

Since 40mg isn't a highdose for Bufo 5-MeO-DMT I'm not sure if it would be better to increase the dose because it might be easier to let go then.
Or is it better to decrease it and slowly go up with it?

“In the beginning I tried to let go but it got to intense for me“

Trying to let go will create more caos and unnecessary friction. 
Still a subtle operation from the ego.

If there is resistance, it’s ok, totally normal at the end with such a substance 

In my opinion i would try again the same dosage cause u already know somehow what stands in front of you, it will not be so terrifying as the first time. When u feel good with it ,upgrade ! 
I did more or less 5 mg vaped. I started having a panic attack cause It hit me too unprepared, thought I was literally dying . I will do the same dose next time

Just patiently chip away at it with more trips. You will get there. There is no rush.
